Reply #11: Oh, God YES! Of course.. [View All]

Of course I do! How are you going to learn what new lie/propaganda they are going to come up with next? (I do agree with another poster however, I can only do it for so long. Then I HAVE to return to some sane radio.)

I really wanted to hear what Rush and Hannity were going to say about Rush’s problems with ESPN and the rumor about his drug use. (This was the week before the Day of Joy and Dancing.) The ESPN story, of course, was just political correctness. Rush and drugs? – not a word from either of them. To quote Ahhnold, “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire”.

One of my favorites with Rush was his commenting (prior to Wilson’s name or column appearing in the NY Times) that it was reported that the Niger letter was actually a carefully developed scheme to embarrass the US – by French intelligence!

Wow! Almost drove off the road. Had to find this one as soon as I could. Back on the Intel magic carpet I Googled and searched many of the major (i.e., reputable) news organizations and came up with – nothing! Zero. Not a peep. What a shock. Next time I had my usual argument with a friend that adores the bozo, I told him not to listen to Rush because he was a liar, and got hit with, “He’s not. If you have proof, show it to me.” I tossed this one out and had him sputtering. I tell 'ya, it's more fun than kickin’ puppies!

The other day there was some fill-in for Rush, with Hannity following with his 3-hours of B.S.; both going on and on about Ted Kennedy’s “lie, after lie, after lie” speech that morning. The first jerk then said Kennedy was wrong about not having UN support, because they just unanimously voted in the UN to support Bush in Iraq - and Japan was committing billions of dollars in support.

Well, they did, but it was never mentioned what we had to pay to get that vote, and failed to mention that Japan promised only $1.5 billion – enough funds to support what? – ONE WEEK! of the (our) multi-year burden!!

(They also failed to mention that in Gulf War I, the Japanese kicked in about $13 Billion to the coalition effort. That’s 8.6 times what they’re kicking in this time around.)

So, as they are attacking Kennedy for his lack of principles, “hate America”, hate Bush, hate everything; and I’m praying for some dittoheaded listener to call in and ask, “Well, if he’s such an evil traitor and hater of ‘Dubya; then why the hell is ‘Dubya’s dad giving him the "George Bush Award for Excellence in Public Service" for Ted's “…consistent... courage (in)...f(ighting)for his principles," and (w)as an "inspiration to all Americans."

God. The pregnant pause alone would have been wonderful.

I think Kennedy should take the Bush award with him everytime he speaks in the well of the Senate, and put it up on the podium as he speaks. That way, every time Novak, Carlson, CNN, Fox takes him on and show video clips, dad’s award is RIGHT THERE on the screen with him.
